Frequently Asked Questions
Seedhe sawaal, seedhe jawab
₹5-15L total: ₹1.5-2.5L for shop rent + deposit (Udyog Vihar/Manesar), ₹2-3L raw material first batch, ₹1.5-2L for sealing machines (used), ₹0.5L registrations+testing. Can start with contract manufacturing (zero machine cost) and grow.
Textile/garment experience helps but not mandatory. Modelama started fresh before pandemic. You need: basic sewing machine knowledge, quality checking mindset, and 3-6 months of hands-on learning in Udyog Vihar cluster. Visit existing units, work as operator for 2 weeks, then launch.
AEPC export subsidy (5-7% FOB), Haryana MSME scheme (₹2-5L), PMEGP (₹50L @ 35%), BIS certification (₹3-5L), IEC free, Udyam registration free. Net: ₹55-60L support possible for ₹100L project.
Direct outreach: Call diagnostic labs' procurement (Apollo, SRL, Metropolis, Asha), hospitals (Fortis, Max), corporates' HR. LinkedIn pitch. Register on GeM (government portal), BidPlus (tender platform). First order: 500-1000 kits at ₹50-60 (wholesale) within 2-3 weeks if quality is good.
Bilkul. Orders of US$ 1 billion expected in 3 months (official data). Get IEC (₹0, 10 days), get BIS cert for medical PPE (₹3-5L, 6 weeks), find AEPC member buyer or contact foreign importers direct via LinkedIn/TradeKey. First export order: 10,000-50,000 kits, FOB ₹1.2-2.5 per kit. Shipping time: 15-30 days to USA/UK.
Downside: PPE demand is pandemic-linked, can drop 50-70% if cases drop. Exit: Pivot to reusable PPE (higher margin), switch to surgical masks (200+ units in Gurugram already), or contract-manufacture for branded companies. Sealing machines can be repurposed for food packaging. Your Udyog Vihar shop can be sub-leased at break-even. Not a total loss.
